Don't worry, I am no socialist. But it's already happening on here. Powerful whales using coercion (threats of virtual violence) against the less powerful to ensure they adhere to their agenda. History will repeat again here on STEEM first with emerging robber barons leading us to statism and then socialism and oppression if we don't evolve beyond this well worn cycle.

I know what you mean, got flagged by a while because i upvoted a post. Being a miserable plankton I've decided to stay away from upvoting such posts which was an action of self preservation. Money is power and we see that here. I'm still very green on how this voting and flagging works and lack the wealth to experiment. Those with lots of steem dictate what goes which is sort of censorship, last place I'd expect to see it. If we go with freedom of speech, the steem bill of rights should dictate that you can flag someone you disagree with but can't take his wealth.
